  • Frances Ha 2013

    ★★★★½ Watched 16 May, 2013

    Best comedy of the year this far. Perhaps my favorite movie of the year thus far. Undateable.

  • Star Trek Into Darkness 2013

    ★★ Watched 15 May, 2013

    Somehow manages to be dumber than the movie about meatheads racing cars. Highly illogical third act arrives quickly enough thanks to some good action set pieces, but the story is convoluted and doesn't go anywhere... just goofy jokes and big explosions. JJ Abrams will do just fine with Star Wars given George Lucas' track record if INTO DARKNESS is any indicator.

    Oh, and Benedict Cumberbatch can do an excellent villain voice.

    I'm so glad Swayze didn't live to see this crap.
